OAKLAND (CBS 5) — Oakland voters appeared unhappy Wednesday night with Mayor Jean Quan on two fronts – her overall job performance and her handling of the Occupy Oakland protests – according to a newly released KPIX-TV CBS 5 poll.

Quit talking about it & recall her!! She is out of her league. Not only that she denies having anything to do with the raid!! What a piece of work this clown is. Our fearless leaders walk around demanding we respect them, but it’s earned & truthfully, there might be about 5 or 6 leaders in this entire state that you could actually respect, the rest have along way to go towards getting any!!

The protest was totally mishandled. No other city acted this way. They weren’t harming anything/anybody. They weren’t even in the way. I commute to S.F. daily and pass their protesters. They were peaceful and didn’t bother people who didn’t want to be bothered. They are in all the major cities and yet only Oakland went off the deep end. Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Dallas, etc. etc. showed more class and patience than Oakland. Why is it Oakland always has to come off looking like “Thug Amierca”. We’re better than that.

You weren’t paying enough attention. The difference was that Occupy Oakland, aka Obamaville 5, wouldn’t allow either police to patrol or paramedics to enter the encampment. That’s quite the opposite of peaceful and law-abiding.

Each of these encampments has a very large anarchist element. Witness the handing out of handbills advocating shooting police officers at the Occupy Phoenix camp, aka Obamaville 7.
